Mighty-Merge(TM) 4157-DC is faster and more profitable than traditional installation methods STRATFORD, Conn. - Bridgeport Fittings has introduced the Mighty-Merge(TM) 4157-DC transition fitting that will save contractors the labor and material cost of installing and bonding a junction box, or the assembly time to make up a fitting that provides the necessary connection.

With the Mighty-Merge(TM) fitting, installers simply remove the desired length of armor that will allow for the exposed conductors to reach the device box or enclosure.
